The book covers the period of Poland's war with the Bolsheviks (Russia) 1919-1921.  It is printed on a good glossy paper, with numerous black and white photos covering the operational history of the Kosciuszko Squadron including its formation and personal histories.  I was pleasantly surprised when I received this book, because it filled in a gap of Polish Military history that I did not have.  It was interesting finding out about how it was formed after WW I and people like Captain Merian Cooper (an American volunteer) and his exploits against the Russians.  This book proves that understanding airpower is what helps win wars.  The black and white photos help portray the conditions and what the people looked like in that time.  It shows that we are not that different from them .

In the back of the book there are 27 color plates covering aircraft of the Kosciuszko Squadron - nicely done.

This and many other fine MM publications can be found on and ordered from Mushroom Models' home page at www.mmpbooks.biz.  I would like to thank Mushroom Model Publications and IPMS/USA for the review copy.  Highly recommended for anyone interested in the post WWI Polish Air Corp.
